Under Shane Bettenhausen’s guise Ignition Entertainment remains committed to bringing Japanese games overseas. Here’s one behind the scenes story – Ignition tried to license Blood of Bahamut from Square Enix.

Which game topped number one the store’s personal selection? I’ll give you a hint, it was something from Square Enix.

Man, it is a sad, sad world when you have to start building countries atop living creatures. I mean, Gigant I can kind of imagine, since the top of him is flat, but with Fenrir?

A light shines and suddenly, in its place stands a human, only a fraction of his original size. He brandishes his (relatively enormous) sword at the monster before him. Who happens to be the appropriately named Gigant, the one-armed giant.

With a name like Blood of Bahamut you know it’s going to have dragons and Bahamut in it. With only a week until its comes out Square Enix blasted a bunch of media with giant monsters.

Ibuki’s struggles against Ifrit and Gilgamesh lead up to Chaos Bahamut, a new version of the dragon that appears before those who have defeated all the other giant monsters. He’s even more powerful with godlike powers.

Square Enix’s multiplayer action RPG, Blood of Bahamut, is also the esper/eidolon/aeon cameo RPG. Gilgamesh joins Shiva and Ifrit as the latest Final Fantasy summon monster crossover.

Instead of introducing Blood of Bahamut with a pre-rendered cutscene Square Enix gave us gameplay. Now we’re seeing a portion of the story and Bahamut is the “bad” guy.

Finally, an update about Blood of Bahamut that isn’t just another batch of screenshots! Square Enix’s multiplayer RPG will be finished on August 6.

Oooh it’s another batch of Blood of Bahamut screenshots from Square Enix and some of them showcase the wireless match play system where four players link up to take down a giant Shiva.   Another new image demonstrates the heads up display stuff like a map, status information for the three allied players, and the [...]

Square Enix’s take on Shiva joins growing list of Final Fantasy Espers that appear as Gigants in Blood of Bahamut. She fires ice beams from her hands and a screenshot hints at least part of her armor is destructible.   So far, every Gigant has been introduced with a playable character. Shiva is no exception. [...]

Ifrit won’t be the only Final Fantasy esper in Blood of Bahamut. Fenrir who makes your party invisible in Final Fantasy VI is another one of the game’s mammoth beasts. Santiago, an expert with spears, and a wolf creature of sorts lives on the four legged land mass.     In addition to revealing a [...]

New footage of Blood of Bahamut was on display at this weekend’s Jump Fiesta event, but you can watch the movie right here. The trailer introduces Santiago who kind of looks like part of the Bangaa race. You can also catch a glimpse of additional giants that you fight in Blood of Bahamut. Keep your [...]

Gigant has a friend and this colossal creatures from Blood of Bahamut should be familiar to Final Fantasy fans. Ifrit will be one of the towering creatures Ibuki has to subdue.        The key to beating Ifrit and Gigants is to chip away at their armor and reveal their weak points. It looks [...]

We haven’t heard any news from Think & Feel after they finished the English version of Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, but Chiba based developer hasn’t been idly twiddling their thumbs. Think & Feel will continue working with Square Enix by developing Blood of Bahamut.   In addition to that Think & Feel is also [...]
